Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

78. Adam (center)

"The Ancestor Titan? What is that?"

Facing the strange terms that Kong Ming suddenly used, Finn's attitude was half indifferent, and most of all, he was stunned.

Maybe it's just a normal feeling? It seems that the feeling of "I don't know what you are suddenly talking about" is perfectly expressed in an extremely natural way.

By the way, Lu Mingfei felt similarly. What is the Ancestral Titan? Didn't you hear anything from Kong Ming when you came here?

If Lu Mingfei was forced to think of it, it might be some animated XX giant that was banned in China.

Lu Mingfei thought so as he took full advantage of his cute little doll body and was held in the arms of his older sister Fiore who loved taking care of others.

Speaking of it, Lu seems to be surrounded by children who need to be taken care of. Although Lu Mingfei himself is not much better, he needs more care from others than Lu Mingfei. There are more girls who seriously lack common sense. The feeling of being taken care of by a sister is also rare. After all, although Camilla considers herself a big sister, she is still too innocent as a big sister.

da Vinci?

That doesn’t count, and super-scale players don’t count. How do you say that? Isn't it right that men are not as sexy as women? After all, men are the ones who know their preferences best.

Kong Ming suddenly glanced at Lu Mingfei.

what? What? Would you like me to be more serious and concentrate here? Don't be distracted by the tofu on your head?

no. Lu Mingfei was confused and confused. After all, what does it matter to me here now?

Lu Mingfei didn't know why and continued to rub Fiore's thumbs.

Why is it easy for spoof anchors to let themselves go? It’s easy to understand why Mr. Lu became an idol during this time.

"Besides, speaking of Thousand World Tree's trump card, since I am here, could it be someone else besides me?"

Finn's tone was as proud as ever.

In fact, considering his status, this is only natural.

but--

"You can't say that, Mr. Finn, are you still playing riddles now? You and I are obviously very clear about it, right? If it is a complete heroic spirit - such as a 'Crown Spirit Base' or something like that, then it is another matter, but for For a strong person like you, ordinary spiritual foundations simply cannot give full play to your power."

That's right.

"Actually, I can be considered a Master after borrowing my power from the great military advisor Zhuge Kongming. I survived the Holy Grail War and have been preparing to participate in the next Holy Grail War since then, so I have thoroughly investigated the various advantages and disadvantages of Heroic Spirit Servants.”

This is common sense among the Heroic Spirit Servants of the Holy Grail War.

"When summoning a heroic spirit as a master, you need to consider not only the identity of the summoned target, but also the choice of job agency. It is common sense that the same heroic spirit will have different Noble Phantasms in different job agencies. Choose from them. The strongest job is the master's job. Generally speaking, the top three knights of sword, spear, and bow are considered to be the strongest job. In fact, this is indeed the case. Therefore, the designer of the slave system at the beginning of the design , giving more additional corrections to the job introductions of the three knights, but in the final analysis, they are just servants, the shadow incarnation of the heroic spirit."

"What do you want to say? Kong Ming."

"It's very simple. An excellent servant like Mr. Finn who is fully adapted to the full-time job. No matter what kind of job, you can't give full play to your strength. The correction of the heroic soul job, that kind of thing is not useful to you. It’s nothing more than a weakened bondage.”

"Continue to praise me, I like to hear it, but I am not the kind of frivolous man who will agree to your request when he feels comfortable being praised."

Kong Ming smiled, not caring about Finn's attitude.

Because he knew that Finn had taken the bait.

"Those who have not done in-depth research on the Holy Grail War system - such as Machiri, Tohsaka, Matou, etc., these guys who are the designers of the Holy Grail War system, always have unreasonable confidence in their own designs. , they believed what they believed, so much so that most of the participants in the Holy Grail War who consulted their experiences lost their lives.

Swords, spears, bows, and the three cavalry job descriptions were originally designed to have "only advantages and no disadvantages" at the initial stage of design. However, this so-called "only advantages and no disadvantages" is just what they thought. That’s all”

"Indeed." Finn nodded, "The shortcoming of the cavalry is that the magic power is severely depleted and there is no correction to the magic power. Although the assassin job will grant the stealth ability, other parts of the combat power will be weakened in reverse. Magic The division level simply does not have any corrections, and at the same time, the magic power of the top three cavalry will be severely suppressed. The top three cavalry, including the archers, will receive "combat ability correction" indiscriminately - objectively speaking, The three knights are indeed the best, right?"

"That's just within the framework of the Heroic Spirit Servant System. To say it is the best is just a comparison with other worse job agencies. What is the actual strongest job agency - a job agency that can jump out of the entire Heroic Spirit Servant System framework? , Mr. Fenn obviously knows it very well, right?"

Finn laughed.

Under Gray's troubled gaze, Kong Ming pinched his uncut cigar and started laughing.

Then, the two said in unison:

""Lord Avisbron, you can come out now. ""

Regardless of the special spiritual base of the title, the 'real theoretically strongest job' in the Holy Grail War is Caster.

A true Caster-type Servant—not a type like Finn who is generally a warrior but can also be a Caster, but a pure Caster Servant, is the theoretically strongest being in a regular Holy Grail War.

The Holy Grail War and the Heroic Spirit Servants are essentially just magic woven by humans.

Deciphering, digesting, and transcending the framework itself are things that only true pure Caster servants—the super magicians who have left their names in history—can do.

But Caster is still considered the weakest job agent in the Holy Grail War.

The reason is simply that the performance of magic requires preparation of the venue and time, and the Holy Grail War only lasts for seven days, which is too short for magic masters who often use "months" or even "years" to perform great magic.

But—this is not the Holy Grail War.

Now is the journey of human restoration.

Although the Heroic Spirits in the present world are also restricted by the Heroic Spirit Job Recruitment System, that's all.

There is no time limit anymore.

Therefore - the most powerful job agent at this time, the one who can truly display the 'ace' beyond the limits of the system framework, is definitely not a warrior like Finn or Chiron who was severely weakened by the heroic spirit job system in order to appear in the world. Or sage.

But a magician like Avis Bronn.

A pure magician is not a sage, but a person of knowledge and mystery - [a seeker].

☆

Caster, Avisbron.

Who?

Lu Mingfei didn't know him at all and had no impression at all.

This is not to blame Lu Mingfei, after all, most of the time, Avis Bronn will be called by his real name, which is - Solomon

Solomon ibn Gabirol

Because it is easy to be confused with another King Solomon, Avisbronn's achievements are often mistakenly attributed to King Solomon, so his popularity has declined for this subtle reason, even to avoid suspicion, or for convenience. To distinguish, he called himself Avisbronn.

In fact, he has no interest in this kind of fame or anything.

This is a very strange guy. Even Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel this way. The heroic spirit Avisbronn looks more like a doll than a human being, but as a doll, it lacks human characteristics. The joints are so slender that people who look at him can't help but think: Does this person have some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder?

He could obviously make it better and more perfect, but he deliberately added deformities to himself in order to differentiate between 'humans' and 'dolls'.

Compared to Avisbronn himself, the things he created are more famous - although these things are often mistakenly attributed to King Solomon because of their names.

"Your Excellency Avisbronn, I finally have a chance to see you." Kong Ming even stood up and bowed for him.

This flattering attitude actually made Avisbron a little displeased: "I am not that great, there is no need to flatter me like this. No matter what era it is, politics is still as frustrating as ever."

"Do you think what you just did is politics?"

"Negotiations that are not really for the pursuit of progress in the material world are similar to politics in my opinion. If not necessary, I don't want to be involved in ideological disputes. I just want to do research quietly, even if I appear as a heroic spirit. It's the same thing in the world - ultimately, I don't think I'm a hero, and I don't remember doing anything that can be associated with the word hero."

"That's really a pity. Obviously, those things that were considered heretical in your time are very popular in my time."

".What does it have to do with me? I'm just a loser who hasn't been able to complete my research in my entire life."

"Not only magicians, but ordinary people also like you very much - even if most of them don't know your name, they are also particularly fond of your 'Kabbalah Magic'. Right, Lulu?"

"well?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Kong Ming mentioned him, so he could only answer subconsciously.

"Ah, I really don't know who Avisbronn is, but I still know Kabbalah. After all, it often appears in various game comics, such as "Date A Live" and so on. Although if you think about it carefully, Kabbalah I don’t seem to know what La is exactly?”

Lu Mingfei scratched his head just now.

Because of this habit, I accidentally rubbed something soft this time.

Regarding Lu Mingfei's appearance, Avisbron not only did not feel rude, but actually seemed a little happy?

"Magic is an extension of culture, and interest is the best teacher. Rather than learning for the purpose of seeking power, simply hoping to seek the path itself is the right path. In this way, it seems that the Kabbalah foundation I created It has been passed down well.”

Avisbronn and King Solomon.

The two Solomons have many similar characteristics. For example, Solomon created the most popular general-purpose magician's base plate from AD to modern times, while the Kabbalah magic base plate created by Avisbron came to modern times. , instead it blossomed and bore fruit.

Avisbron, who seemed a little happy, looked at Finn aside. The actual leader of the Thousand World Tree team present.

"So, Mr. Finn, you who originally advocated withdrawing troops, are you sure that you want to stay and fight and cooperate with the people of Chaldea? If so, rather than indifferent politics, I want to start technical exchanges with Mr. Kong Ming as soon as possible. .”

Huh?

Although Lu Mingfei doesn't quite understand this, it seems that Avisbron is actually Thousand World Tree's trump card, and now Kong Ming has the support of Avisbron?

Although Lu Mingfei still doesn't understand why he is here and what is the reason why Kong Ming caught him here, but now it seems that it is over?

Just when Lu Mingfei was thinking this.

"No, no, no, I'm sorry, Avisbron. For the time being, I still have to consider the interests of my family. Mr. Kong Ming, you are right. Report Avisbron's power beyond the framework of the Heroic Spirit Servant System." Long is indeed our trump card - but what exactly? What is the specific trump card? If it is just the identity of Avis Bronn, we have not hidden it, but what about the specific content of the trump card? If you can't answer, I'm not going to I exposed it to you in such a confusing way."

".That trump card is, of course, Lord Avisbronn's [Noble Phantasm]."

"Hahaha, this kind of answer is the same as no answer. Do you think I, Finn, am someone who can be fooled so easily?"

Why has the atmosphere become tit-for-tat again?

Just when Lu Mingfei was confused.

Kong Ming suddenly winked at Lu Mingfei again.

what? What?

The rest of this depends on you! Listen carefully to me! Where are you playing with tofu?

No, no, no, what is it after all? Is there any need for me here? Can you please tell me directly without the Riddler? Or is it that it can't be explained clearly, and once it is explained clearly, some mysterious power will fail?

Lu Mingfei was confused.

He even began to wonder if Fiore, who was holding him now, was some kind of trap to distract him.

However, in the final analysis, Lu Mingfei still couldn't figure out what Kong Ming wanted to do.

Hmm. For the time being, let's endure being distracted by Fiore and try to keep an eye on Kong Ming's every move to see if there will be a situation that requires his help.

"What is Avisbronn's Noble Phantasm specifically? If Lord Kong Ming can't tell, for the sake of confidentiality, I really think it's better to cancel this battle, right, Fiore?"

A magician who likes small animals and children, and who likes to hold the things she likes in her arms because her lower body was born paralyzed—Fiore was stunned for a moment when she was asked this question.

He stopped stroking 'Lulu''s hair.

"Uh, is that right? Chiron-sensei?"

Chiron responded with a gentle smile: "Indeed, Master."

"Then Kong Ming, don't try to deceive me with this trick. I know very well the negotiation tricks of you strategists, so don't try to get away with it. Come on, let me listen to your 'reasoning' and tell me The answer you deduced - what exactly is Avisbronn's Noble Phantasm?"

That's right.

Finn "bited his thumb" and investigated.

Regarding Zhuge Kongming's deeds and what kind of speaking skills Zhuge Kongming would use in negotiations, he had a clear investigation.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, so Finn naturally will not underestimate the opponent. He has already investigated clearly. Zhuge Kongming's best and favorite trick is 'bluffing'.

This is how the famous "Empty City Strategy" story came about.

Being a deceiver who plays with falsehood and reality, this is one of the skills that Zhuge Kongming, the great strategist of the East, is best at.

"Come on, tell me. What I want to hear is not your tricks as a military advisor, but your solid reasoning. As a detective, tell me your answers and reasoning process, and see if you can convince me!"

"I see."

The corners of Kong Ming's mouth rose.

It seems like everything is under control.

Then he secretly winked at Lu Mingfei.

You must not be distracted! Be sure to listen carefully to what follows!

So what does this mean?

Although Lu Mingfei couldn't understand it completely, since Kong Ming asked himself this way, he should just do it according to his request.

"The Noble Phantasm of a heroic spirit is not so much the so-called nirvana, but more often it is something similar to the opponent's 'symbol'. King Arthur is the Sword of Victory, so the Sword of Victory will be King Arthur's Noble Phantasm. So, for What about Avisbronn?"

"After I realized that Lord Avisbron was the trump card of Thousand World Tree, I was thinking about what is the symbol of Lord Avisbron's Noble Phantasm?"

"For people in the magic world, when Lord Avisbron is mentioned, it is naturally 'Graeme', so Lord Avisbron's Noble Phantasm must be a golem, but that's it. The answer is completely unconvincing. After all, there are too many types of golems, and there are too many golem technologies created and passed down by Lord Avisbron, and none of them are famous enough to be used as a ' A symbol, like the Sword of Victory, something like King Arthur."

"So, I changed my mind and thought about it."

"For magicians, this is a group of people who will never pursue 'real objects', but act purely for the pursuit of 'faith'."

"Magicians devote everything to their research. They will not be able to create anything unless the very act of 'making that thing' is necessary for their research."

"If you think about it this way, Lord Avisbronn, as the golem master, is very strange."

"Because the golem is just a golem, and the golem itself is just a 'device to assist in research.' Most magicians have experience in making similar things, but that is not to make golems for the sake of making golems, but to advance one's own Research requires auxiliary equipment,' that's all."

"If you think about it this way, it's strange that Lord Avisbronn has continued to make various golems and has even become a recognized golem master."

"whydunit"

"Magicians are very simple creatures. They don't do unnecessary things, so motivation investigation is the most effective way to understand a magician."

"I put aside the content about the golem for the time being and looked at another part of His Excellency Avisbron's most famous research - Kabbalah Magic. To be more precise, it is the 'Kabbalah Tree Diagram'."

Kabbalistic tree diagram.

It is also called the ‘Tree of Life’ and the ‘Kabbalah Tree of Life’.

It is considered a symbol of heresy in many places because it is a mysterious picture that records the 'pathway to advancement' of mankind.

From bottom to top, the Kabbalah Tree of Life records the progression of human beings into 'elves', then into 'angels', 'apostles', and finally reaching the 'god's realm' of 'listening to God's will in a mortal body' 'Methods.

(.Um?)

Lu Mingfei frowned, feeling a sense of déjà vu emerging in his heart, as if he had heard a similar statement in some story.

Kong Ming continued: "However, considering that human beings originated from the Garden of Eden and were life created by the Lord (God) based on himself, the original human beings should be complete, but they deteriorated into 'Today's people', the way up is not so much 'promotion' but 'completion', isn't it?"

Avisbron: "'The completion of human beings'. Is this the analysis of my 'dendrogram of life' by future generations? This is a good way of saying it, and it is actually correct."

Lu Mingfei: "." Wait, wait, I didn't understand the content before this at all, but now what you are talking about, why do I suddenly feel like I understand it?

What's going on with this sense of déjà vu?

"So the answer is very clear." A smile appeared on the corner of Kong Ming's mouth. "Your Majesty Avisbron's real purpose is to 'complete', and making golems is just a means. Your real purpose is to 'complete' human beings." Complete' and interpret it, and create the demon doll of 'Original Adam' - the 'Gospel Giant' who can return to the realm of God!"

Lu Mingfei: "Ah, this?"

Why do I suddenly feel like I understand?

Could it be that Master Avisbronn’s Noble Phantasm is——
